Necktie



Nov. 1, 1932. l. SIMSON NECKTIE Filed nec. 11', 1951 I :inventor E @LJ/, ma #M 'attorneys Patented Nov. l, 1932 UNITE-D STATES ISIDOR SIMSON, OF MILWAUKEE, WISCONSIN NECKTIE Application led December 11, 1931. Serial No. 589,338.

l The object of my invention is to provide a necktie and a liner therefor which will not only resist the formation of permanentJ creases but which will tend to correct any creasing tendency, when the tie is removed vand permit-ted to straighten out.

Another object of my invention is to provide a necktie which will conform in its general appearance to hand sewed ties but which will be especially adapted to machine manufacture.

In the drawing: y Figure 1 is a plan view of my tie shown with its reverse side uppermost and with a port-ion of the tying end open to exhibit the lining.

Figure 2 is a plan view of the extended lining material for my tie with one of the wing portions drawn aside.,

Figure 3 is a cross section of my improved tie showing the position of the parts at the time the sewing operation is performed.

Figure 4 is a cross sect-ion of the tying end of my tie complete and iiattened ready for use.

Like parts are identified by the same reference characters throughout the several views.

As explained in my'co-pending application Serial No. 441,827 filed April 5, 1930, Patent No. 1,842,290, I use in my four-in-hand necktie construction a lining wherein one layer of fabric is cut with the warp and another layer is out with the Woof of the piece, so that the combined strength, resilience, and resistance. to creasing of the two layers taken together tends to straighten out the tying end of the necktie when it has been removed by the wearer and permitted to hang freely. I incorporate this same construction in the tie shown in the drawing herein.

The envelope or casing of the tie as shown in the drawing is shown at 10 and comprises thc usual tubular sheathing of silk or other suitable material flattened to provide defined margin lines 11 and a scam 12 which is usually disposed upon the reverse side of the tie after it has been pressed as shown most clearly in Figs. 1 and 4.

Within the tie I dispose my new lining construction which includes a base liner 13 extending approXimately the entire length of the tie so as to reinforce not only the tying end 14, but also the small end portion 15. The single thickness of the base liner is suiiicient to reinforce the small end 15, but within the tying end 14 I have found it necessary to provide an additional thickness and a more complicated construction as follows.

Structurally, the liner forthe tying end of the tie includes the base liner 13 and two wing liners 16 and 17 which are sewed or otherwise secured at 18 and 19 to the base liner adjacent but not on the median longitudinal line -of the base liner. The wing liners are thus spaced from one another adjacent said median line with their' inner margins forming virtually the sides of a channel 22 and their outer margins 2O and 21 respectively conforming substantially with the margin lines of the base liner, so that with the base liner they form a thickened two ply liner wherein the base liner is cut with the warp and the wing liners are cut with the Woof to carry out the invention described in lmy co-pending application above referred to.

The channel between the wing liners 16 and 17 provides a direction indicating means for securing the tubular tie casing 10 to the lining structure as shown most clearly in Fig. 3 Where, as indicated at 23, a singleA line of stitching accomplishes not only the formation of the seam for completing the tube or casing 10, but also attaches the tube to the base liner 13. Then, when the structure shown in cross section in Fig. 3 is turned inside out so that the liner is within the tubular casing 10, the tie may bc pressed to the shape shown in Fig. 4 as a completed wearable unit.

.Not only, therefore, does the lining struc` ture including the base liner 13 and the wings 16 and 17, comprise an easily formed and active stift'ening and straightening agency inthe structure of the completed tie, but it 9 also enables the manufacturer of the tie following my invention to use machine methods for sewing by means of the line of stitching 23, the tubular casing, and the liner as a single manufactured unit, the channel 22 forming a guide so that no time need be wasted in determining and following the median line down along the base liner.

I Claim:

1. The combination with a tie casing, of a liner vtherefor including a base liner and a pair of spaced Wing liners having free eX- terior side margins.

2. The combination with a tie casing, of a liner therefor including a base liner and a pair of spaced Wing liners longitudinally secured to the base liner and having one unlttached margin of each wing respectively conforming to a margin of the base liner.

3. The combination with a tie casing, of a liner therefor comprising a layer of fabric approximately conforming to the margins of the tie casing, and Wing layers secured to the liner with external margins thereof unattached, each Wing layer overlying approximately one lateral half thereof but separated from one another along the median longitudinal line of the liner.

4. The combination with a tubular tie casing having a longitudinal seam and folded to provide defined margin lines, of a base liner substantially conforming to the margin lines and secured to the casing along said seam, and Wing liners each having a longitudinal margin conforming approximately to a margin of the base liner and another longitudinal margin secured to the base liner adjacent the said seam.
